"Faraday" power source
G'day, folks:
I was watching late nite television and happened upon a nifty li'l product: the Faraday Flashlight. There are several different brands and styles, but for simplicity's sake, look at it at www.faradayflashlight.com Fairly simple, right?
I bring it up to say this: do you guys think this is feasible for conversion to 'saber construction and use? The theory, in my mind's eye, is pretty sound; a 'saber with a perpetually renewable power source. Running out of charge? Simply shake, spin, or even duel a bit with your 'saber, and it's back to full brightness! Imagine, never having to replace batteries!
Well, that's it. I'd like to know your thoughts, those that are technologically inclined. All other comments, snide remarks, and recipe ideas should be posted in the "Snitz" thread.

There's an interesting thought. Any idea how much power those put out?

No wonder it never won out over the battery.

my wife picked up one and i took it apart, the slder goes back and forth building up a charge that is then stored in a storage capacitor. the power is then drawn from this sotrage capacitor to run the lights. now then, i wonder if you made a large enough one to fit inside a hilt and a larger storage capacitor, i wonder if it might not work. granted not for long i suspect, but a possibilty.

well i knew it wouldnt be practical. mainly cuz of the size it would have to be to even generate enough charge storage to run it. your right, it would only stay on for a very short time. too much draw.

But think of the excercise you'll be getting.

That's pretty much what I thought. I was thinking of something along the lines of that whole kinetic motion watch thing. "The watch that never needs winding", and all that.
See? That's why you guys get paid the big bucks!
